Walt Disney's Donald Duck

Nichts ist so erfolgreich wie der Erfolg, sagt das Sprichwort, aber bei Donald Duck ist das Gegenteil der Fall: Die Offenheit, mit der Donald seine Schwächen preisgibt, gewinnt unsere Herzen und bleibt unvergesslich.Erleben Sie Donalds Lebenswerk aus neun Jahrzehnten in dieser brillant illustrierten Publikation über das Disney-Universum. Nach Walt Disneys Mickey Mouse: Die ultimative Chronik von TASCHEN verfolgen wir nun die Karriere von Mickeys einzigem Rivalen im Kampf um den Titel der beliebtesten Disney-Figur. Beginnend mit seinem Debüt im Kurzfilm The Wise Little Hen in der Reihe Silly Symphony am 9. Juni 1934 dokumentiert dieser Band Donalds Zeichentrickfilme, seine Abenteuer im Comic und im Fernsehen sowie seine Auftritte in Themenparks. Dank des beispiellosen Zugangs zu den umfangreichen historischen Archiven und Sammlungen von Disney sowie zu öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen konnten seltene Konzeptzeichnungen, Story-Skizzen, Hintergrundbilder, Animations- und Comic-Zeichnungen sowie historische Fotos zutage gefördert werden. Wir begegnen dem Werk aller wichtigen Künstler in Film und Comic, die die Figur Donald geprägt haben. Eine umfassende Würdigung erfährt der als "Duck Man" verehrte, legendäre Comicerzähler Carl Barks, dessen noch nie gezeigte frühe Storyboard-Zeichnungen hier zu sehen sind.Außerhalb des Superhelden-Genres ist Donald Duck die am meisten gedruckte Figur in der Comic-Geschichte, und er erschien häufiger auf der Leinwand als jede andere Disney-Figur. Seit den 1950er Jahren hat sich Entenhausen zu einem wahrhaft globalen Dorf entwickelt, in dem sich eine neue Generation internationaler Künstler zu ihren amerikanischen Kollegen gesellt hat.Carl Barks einmal: "Donald ist alles, er ist jeder. Er macht die gleichen Fehler, die wir alle machen." Walt Disneys Donald Duck mag oft Pech haben, aber gerade deshalb kann sich jeder mit der berühmtesten und beliebtesten Ente der Welt identifizieren, die mit dieser umfassenden Hommage gebührend gefeiert wird.Copyright (c) 2026 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

Museums and the Moving Image

Museums and the Moving Image is the first volume to span overlapping but disciplinarily distinct research into museums, exhibitions, art and film. It draws together approaches in art history, museum studies, anthropology, film studies, performance studies and digital cultures, to uncover the shared ethical and political concerns about two crucial sites of knowledge creation: in the moving image, and in the cultural institution of the museum. Whether or not you know the artwork or film in question, Jenny Chamarette writes in a language that speaks to specialists and non-specialists alike about issues of Eurocentrism, colonialism, race and gender. She institutes a new way of thinking, through cinemuseology, a practice of understanding the entwined and parallel cultural powers of cinema and the museum. From her exploration of French museum-funded ethnography of the 1950s and West African cinema's retort to it, to disruptions of performance, video and digital art by women artists in North American museums from the 1970s; from moving image artists' millennial probing of the 18th century white men whose private hoards lead to the first collections of public museums in the UK, to the hopeful and healing restoration of the B/black archive in contemporary global installation art; from the caring archive of indigenous documentary filmmaking, to the work of experimental filmmakers in Britain; Chamarette consistently asks: how do moving images make the museum think?

The Long Landscape

A filmmaker cycling across the United States reflects upon his connection to other passionate cyclists from 20th-century surrealism, adventuresome high-wheelers, science fiction, and philosophy in this charming and artful travel book. For readers of Rebecca Lowe (The Slow Road to Tehran), Robert Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance), and Sara Dykman (Bicycling with Butterflies). The challenge: to cycle from Disney's Epcot Center toward San Francisco — a 4350 mile journey — on the cusp of summer. In search of the mythological American West seamlessly represented in movies and literature, Delpeut and his beloved cycling companion instead discover a landscape rarely felt in its actual punishing weather and expanse. On their way through the South, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, the couple encounter a blistering and varied cast of characters. A philosophy emerges as they bicycle their way across America that unites the challenge, wonderment, discovery, and naiveté that brought them along these roads. Woven into their journey is the history of long-distance cycling in America, the 19th-century high-wheeler adventures, H.G. Wells's Wheels of Chance, the sublime paintings of Mark Rothko, and Alfred Jarry's parody Supermale about the erotics of the machine age. On the day the author turns forty, the adventure culminates in Las Vegas, the ridiculous exaggeration of Manifest Destiny. But instead of becoming discouraged, he writes in a new introduction that this trip was the seed of a passion that has taken him and his still-beloved all over the world for decades since. "Peter Delpeut’s Long Landscape is a rollicking ride across the United States. The book is a celebration of the nourishing potential of long distance cycling. Delpeut moves seamlessly between travel, film and cycling history, paying homage to the diary form. Imagine David Lynch’s Wild at Heart conversing with Bruce Chatwin’s In Patagonia and you get some sense of the vitality of this wonderful edition." —Dara Waldron, New York Times bestselling author of A Sheepdog Named Oscar
